or the pound coin that went for five quid or something

I'm from the land of greed and ignorance. What is a pound, and is it worth far less than a quid? I do know these are forms of (ancient?) British money, but beyond that I haven't the foggiest.

1 pound = 1 unit of english currency

a quid = slang for a pound, like buck for dollar

I think its something like 1.34 dollars to the pound

pounds come in coins here by the way, they are small and golden and thick

[lynx]

Quid is a slang word for a pound (like buck=dollar) but I don't know where the word comes from. So paying 5 quid (5 pounds) for a one pound coin is more than a little silly.

Edit: bar stewards, beaten again

That seems silly. Why not just use a dollar as currency? WEEHAW!

Even though the pound is strong as it is

I think, I dont pay much attention to world stocks, i just know were doing ok lol

All you other pitiful countries can go to heck. Us Americans rock the socks. Who else prints a 1,000,000,000,000 dollar bill and then gives it to a millionare from Springfield to take care of?

Go us, go us! If I bothered listening to the crap on the radio today, I'd know the words to that rapper's song where he sings "go midget, its your birthday" but I don't, so I won't.
